TomTom and other maps...

I have a feeling that this will become quite a discussed post. The *taster* version of TT that comes with the Kaiser allows you to download only one map - and the selection is limited.
I have a TomTom Go in my car and was wondering if I can use the map data from there? I have all of Western Europe. Obviously I'll need a memory card capable of holding it but the real question is - can you use TT Go maps on TT Mobile?

I suspect that the maps are attached to a particular device.

Depends on the map version you have.
I guess the Kaiser has a version 6 Tomtom. Therefore you need at least map designed for that version.
In general the maps for the Go and the WM versions of TomTom are identical. Theoretically it should work.
BUT:
Apart from that you also need a device specific activation code belonging to the map/device combination. Your maps are obviously allready activated for your Go, so you cannot activate them on a second device.
Maybe the TomTom helpdesk (forum on their site) can help you out.

Taster version of TomTom with Kaiser......is it possible to uninstall it so that I can install my own tomtom which I have got on my current sd card in trinity, as it is activated and with all maps? I mean, is this tatser verison included in ROM or is it removable from settings?
Thanks

I believe i noticed in the "retail TyTN II unboxing" video, that TomTom resides on a CD with applications in the box.... So that would mean you have to install it yourself, and in that case you can go with your own full copy of TomTom...
What i would like to know is, if version 6.030 from my Trinity will run smoothly on the Kaiser...???

tomtotm isnt on the rom. so there will be no need to uninstall anything. just put your version on and use it. its supplied on the software disk. I'll be putting my own version of tomtom onmine when i get my micro sd card hopefully tomorrow

but the version on the CD Rom is the latest (6.0.32)

the 6.0.32 version of TTN6 is specific for WM devices with built-in GPS, like the Kaiser.
So, best option is to use the app from the kaiser package and your own maps.

I think you can just copy the map folder from the TomTom Go to an microSD card and see if it is working.
I bet it is.

Legally? No. TomTom licenses you maps per device, so what you have is licensed to your GO.
Practically? Yes. You'll need one of the many keygens out there....

Can you nav guys help. I've never used GPS with my TyTN. I'm considering a TyTN II and have some questions.
Can you use the built in GPR without an external antennae with Google Maps with the TyTN II? Or do you need the TomTom or other software?
I like using Google maps.

You don't need an antenna or extra software like tomtom. Sometimes it's a bit fiddly setting up the ports to use to get say Google Maps or other software to see the inbuilt GPS - but you get there in the end!

Mike:
Thanks again for your reply. I think I may pick up the TyTN II here pretty quickly. I just wanted to hear that the built in GPS actually does something.

What port are you using in Googlemaps? I've left it at auto, which doesn't work :S
Thanks!

People said that Googlemaps is not so friendly with long waiting to get satelite fix. So, Googlemaps tend to disconnect and wont tell you anything.
The workaround (not nice btw), is to start TomTom to get satelite fix, then quit.
After that Googlemaps will be able to connect to the GPS and works fine.
But, sorry for asking, what are the good things of Googlemaps compare to, let say TomTom or Route66, etc. Of course, it is FREE, but other than that?
Is Googlemaps available for all continent (Europe?) ?

bear in mind that google maps is an API, not just a web site.
It is possible to write location sharing apps etc for google maps, a mobile interface would be very cool.

Guys where on earth is the tomtom cab file for version 6? I only got 2 cd's, 1 applications which only has 3 apps (but not tomtom) and the starter cd which I did look all over? Is there more than 2 cd's?
Please help, I just got the kaiser today and want to install tomtom.
Thanks.

I don't have Tomtom6 on any CDs either , I got the units from SuperiorGadgets, they are HTC Tytn II. And I tried Mapopolis, map4pda, igo 2007, Destinator 6, none can see GPS.
What is the hardware port? I checked the GPS CP app, it shows COM4: as software, none for hardware. I tried couple of settings there, none worked so far.

How to install a gps software

my att tilt hastelenav installed or preinstalled, is there anyway if tom tom would work legit version or non? this is my frist htc so total noob at this at the moment any feed back would be nice

You can use multiple navigation programs on your device without a conflict. I can open google maps, microsoft live, and tomtom all at once and they will all use the gps receiver to locate my position.

I didn't know you could have multiple softwares reading the GPS hardware off the same port.... are you sure?

yes that's sure, wm6 can manage this.
at wm5 you need a program like gpsproxy to divide the com ports.

its true... i'm using iGo 2006 Plus, TomTom, Garmin XT and Navigon on my Kaiser (and my Touch).

What GPS software with US MAPS that will work seamlessly with TYTN II?

I like to install a gps software that has the capability for US Maps, is it possible? What software could it be? I tried TOMTOM but it wouldn't install on Windows Vista. The setup won't run.
Also, my SD card can't accomodate 1.2GB of maps, can I only select some places that I think I ll be needing gps assistance?

I'm using iGo MyWay Plus and I'm very happy with it.

Surely you didn't purchase Tomtom to give up on it so soon? Take it up with their support.
I use GPSTuner which is able to download maps on the fly from Google and other sources. It also comes with Map Calibrator which allows you to download maps from online sources (free), or scan your own maps in and calibrate. Works pretty well with the TYTN II, although the driver problem does slow it down sometimes.
It won't give you satnav functions though if that is what you are after, in which case your phone should have come with Tomtom or Copilot

Garmin Mobile XT, version for Windows Mobile phones w/ built-in GPS.
Comes on a 2 Gb card, works so good.

Try mapopolis.

plz help with getting the GPS on the shift

Did you install BlueGPS like thaihugo suggested? Once you install it, you could use either Windows Live or Google Maps (I like Live Maps latest over Google Maps, but thats me). If your question running on GPS on Vista, then also it is possible to use BlueGPS and you can see GPS once you activeSync it. I bought GPSGate for both the sides and I am using it.
--Ram--

on my rom, you can install any gps program and it will work. problem is storage for maps. This is why I recomment google maps or garmin mobile. In any caseM gps is com4.
To access it on vista, there is an how to in the age of reason thread.
You don't need gpsgate. The gpstoblue and the solution in my thread explain it all.

is it possible to use tomtom with maps on shared drive etc with vista running? or does it still crash??
thaihugo? saiweb?

[HELP] Garmin GPS

I need help for installing Garmin GPS.
I have download and install:
- Garmin Mobile XT for WM latest version
- Garmin Mobile XT Free Base Map
- Garmin Mobile XT Support Files
But when I run, the program always scanning bluetooth and scanning attached for a long time and never end..
Can anyone help me please??

are you not able to skip that step? i use garmin all the time, granted its from the same installation i've used for years. i just keep the files on the sd card & move it from phone to phone & execute the autorun & its re-installs the shortcuts etc..
anyhow i think u should be able to skip that step, but i'm curious does google maps or bing gps work?

Naturally Garmin, can only works with Garmin devices such as bluetooth GPS. but It's possible to run garmin with other devices, all you have to do is cr*ck it. Try googling "jet mouse".

U have to register it. Skip the scan, that will get u past that part. If it's unregistered, it will only see a Garmin GPS.

Actually, Garmin Mobile XT was made for devices such as smartphones with a built-in GPS...

into the garmin software go to:
config>>Sistem>>remote gps and there select com4.

@drdrewdown =
1. if i skip that process, will show "Some aspects of garmin mobile XT will not work properly without first getting a valid GPS fix"... Any idea?
2. how to make the google maps or bing GPS work??
@iwakpitik = thanks for your opinion, i try to find it..
Thanks for all

is there any tutorial to crack this gps?

You can't legally use Garmin without paying for it in some fashion - either by purchasing their Bluetooth GPS package, or their SD card package. If you want to use the built-in GPS you need the SD card version. Be forewarned that Garmin does not support using anything other their supplied SD card, which is not very large and is filled with their software/maps. If you want to use your own SD card you'll have to circumvent their protection, which is obviously not something Garmin or this forum like people talking about.

at the scan screen skip it, go to the about screen, find your device/memory card id
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=4075165&postcount=318
go there follow instructions, use the keygen to register garmin xt.
u wont see the scanning ever again and the program will work flawlessly.
